Data processing includes accessing a product category tree, the product category tree comprising a plurality of hierarchical levels. A leaf category level of the plurality of hierarchical levels comprises a leaf category node. The leaf category node includes product information. The product information comprises a plurality of product attribute parameters. The plurality of product attribute parameters comprises standard product information. Data processing further includes selecting, among the plurality of product attribute parameters that correspond to the leaf category node, a representative product attribute parameter that is representative of the product information; and partitioning standard product information of the leaf category node to obtain a plurality of sets using the representative product attribute parameter, wherein each of the plurality of sets includes at least some of the standard product information.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the representative product attribute parameter was previously used by users to search for products.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein a set in the plurality of sets includes a product attribute parameter with identical value for all products associated with the set.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to use the plurality of sets to make a product recommendation.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to search the plurality of sets to provide a search result.
6. A data processing system, comprising: one or more processors configured to: access a product category tree, the product category tree comprising a plurality of hierarchical levels, wherein: a leaf category level of the plurality of hierarchical levels comprises a leaf category node; the leaf category node includes product information; the product information comprises a plurality of product attribute parameters and a plurality of non-product attribute parameters; and the plurality of product attribute parameters comprises standard product information and non-standard product information, wherein the standard product information comprises the plurality of non-product attribute parameters; select, among the plurality of product attribute parameters that correspond to the leaf category node, a representative product attribute parameter that is representative of the product information; determine a degree of similarity of the non-product attribute parameters; partition standard product information of the leaf category node to obtain a plurality of sets using the representative product attribute parameter, wherein each of the plurality of sets includes at least some of the standard product information; partition one of the plurality of sets into a plurality of subsets based on at least one non-product attribute parameter of the plurality of non-product attribute parameters; partition the standard product information within one of the plurality of sets into a plurality of subsets such that the degree of similarity within each subset meets a first threshold value; determine whether values of product attribute parameters that correspond to the non-standard product information and used for set partitioning meet an established criterion; in the event that the values of product attribute parameters that correspond to the non-standard product information and used for set partitioning do not meet the established criterion, determine a subset for which a correlation of the non-product attribute parameters to the non-standard product information meets a second threshold value; and provide a product recommendation to be displayed to a user based on the plurality of subsets.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to: in the event that at least some of the values of product attribute parameters that correspond to the non-standard product information and used for set partitioning meet an established criterion, determine a set to which the non-standard product information belongs based on the at least some of the values of product attribute parameters.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to partition the non-standard product information into a subset of the set to which the non-standard product information belongs.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to deduplicate standard product information and non-standard product information.
10. A data processing method, comprising: accessing a product category tree, the product category tree comprising a plurality of hierarchical levels, wherein: a leaf category level of the plurality of hierarchical levels comprises a leaf category node; the leaf category node includes product information; the product information comprises a plurality of product attribute parameters and a plurality of non-product attribute parameters; and the plurality of product attribute parameters comprises standard product information and non-standard product information, wherein the standard product information comprises the plurality of non-product attribute parameters; selecting, among the plurality of product attribute parameters that correspond to the leaf category node, a representative product attribute parameter that is representative of the product information; partitioning standard product information of the leaf category node to obtain a plurality of sets using the representative product attribute parameter, wherein each of the plurality of sets includes at least some of the standard product information; partitioning one of the plurality of sets into a plurality of subsets based on one non-product attribute parameter of the plurality of non-product attribute parameters; partitioning the standard product information within one of the plurality of sets into a plurality of subsets based on a degree of similarity of non-product attribute parameters; determining whether values of product attribute parameters that correspond to the non-standard product information and used for set partitioning meet an established criterion; deduplicating the standard product information and the non-standard product information; and providing a product recommendation to be displayed by a user based on the plurality of subsets.
11. A computer program product for data processing, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for: accessing a product category tree, the product category tree comprising a plurality of hierarchical levels, wherein: a leaf category level of the plurality of hierarchical levels comprises a leaf category node; the leaf category node includes product information; the product information comprises a plurality of product attribute parameters and a plurality of non-product attribute parameters; and the plurality of product attribute parameters comprises standard product information and non-standard product information, wherein the standard product information comprises the plurality of non-product attribute parameters; selecting, among the plurality of product attribute parameters that correspond to the leaf category node, a representative product attribute parameter that is representative of the product information; partitioning standard product information of the leaf category node to obtain a plurality of sets using the representative product attribute parameter, wherein each of the plurality of sets includes at least some of the standard product information; partitioning one of the plurality of sets into a plurality of subsets based on one non-product attribute parameter of the plurality of non-product attribute parameters; partitioning the standard product information within one of the plurality of sets into a plurality of subsets based on a degree of similarity of non-product attribute parameters; determining whether values of product attribute parameters that correspond to the non-standard product information and used for set partitioning meet an established criterion; deduplicating the standard product information and the non-standard product information; and providing a product recommendation to be displayed by a user based on the plurality of subsets.
